I think thats what Mark is saying in this. VR/AR could eventually replace: Desktops, laptops, TV, AND cell phones. Thats a lot of stuff. Literally owning eye

Right but I'm saying that regardless of what he wants, the viable medium I see it replacing is the laptop. Not all of them, just one, the laptop.

Could totally see it replace tv. It’s just too compelling of a new format. Especially if it the hardware fits in your normal glasses.

  Not replace but greatly boost. With AR, I used to love passing through the external environment and putting two tv screens up in the ceiling area with CNBC and a podcast, all while doing laundry and tidying up around the house; my net consumption bumped up quite significantly due to the ease and ubiquity of opportunities to consume content.

    What device gave you watchable TV screens and still let you see your environment?

      Just a quest. Watch the first 20 seconds of this [1] and you’ll see the concept. Note, pass through was low resolution and in black and white. Sufficient for doing laundry but annoying. 1. https://youtu.be/CqkhjL3WvWQ https://youtu.be/CqkhjL3WvWQ

  If we can get proper 3d content for VR that would be incredible. One of the NBA Finals in like 2017 announced a VR viewing experience. Imagine my extreme disappointment when it was just the regular ESPN video on a virtual TV in a virtual room with a virtual couch. I would pay some pretty significant money for a sideline VR camera view at certain sports. Imagine being "at" the superbowl but also having access to your own bathroom and snacks.

    eating snacks with a VR headset on sounds messy

    This is what I want for watching NHL games. Imagine having a dozen camera views on demand. Of course, knowing how greedy all these companies are, I’m sure if they ever do it they’ll charge per camera view or something stupid that’ll make it cost prohibitive to the average person. I’ll end up sitting behind a pillar in VR. Lol.
